II Duce Scored By Eden
Britain Angered Over Italian Support Of German Demands
LONDON, Nov. 1—0) — Great Britain turned her anger upon Italy tonight after months of cautious maneuverings, when Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden berated Premier Benito Mussolini for his support oi Germany s colonial demands As Eden attacked II Duce in the house of commons—amid shouts of ! “we accept dictation from no one!’* —Britain’s biggest warship, the battle cruiser Hood, steamed into Bar-| celona on the Spanish east coast to i investigate the sinking of the freighter Jean Weems by a "pirate” warplane.
INFORMATION SOUGHT
The commander of the Hood. Rear Admiral Andrew Cunningham, was instructed to provide information w’hich will determine the government's “action” in reprisal for the sinking of the freighter.
Eden's attack on Mussolini, his most vigorous speech in his career, repudiated II Duce’s public statement that the peace of Europe can not be secure until Germany's war-lost colonies are returned.
The dapper young foreign secretary then announced that the Mediterranean “anti-piracy” pact had • greatly benefltted the Loyalists.
WILL PROTEST ATTACK
He said a protest was being prepared to the Spanish insurgents regarding the “pirate” attack on tlie Jean Weems.
Members leaped to their feet from the government benches and cheered loudly when Eden, referring to Mussolini. said:
“We accept cooperation from all. but we accept dictation from no one!”

“Through the medium of modern science and transportation, the world has been made infinitely smaller.” explained Mrs. Bader, “but the fact that the various countries are melting-pots is still a term which has not been accomplished, due principally to the lack of understanding between the earth's leading faiths.”
Mrs. Bader, who is also vice-chairman of the child-service committee. stressed that only 50 per cent of the population within the United States is active in the nation’s religious affairs.

II Duce Scored By Eden
Britain Angered Over Italian Support Of German Demands
LONDON, Nov. 1—0) — Great Britain turned her anger upon Italy tonight after months of cautious maneuverings, when Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden berated Premier Benito Mussolini for his support oi Germany s colonial demands As Eden attacked II Duce in the house of commons—amid shouts of ! “we accept dictation from no one!’* —Britain’s biggest warship, the battle cruiser Hood, steamed into Bar-| celona on the Spanish east coast to i investigate the sinking of the freighter Jean Weems by a "pirate” warplane.
INFORMATION SOUGHT
The commander of the Hood. Rear Admiral Andrew Cunningham, was instructed to provide information w’hich will determine the government's “action” in reprisal for the sinking of the freighter.
Eden's attack on Mussolini, his most vigorous speech in his career, repudiated II Duce’s public statement that the peace of Europe can not be secure until Germany's war-lost colonies are returned.
The dapper young foreign secretary then announced that the Mediterranean “anti-piracy” pact had • greatly benefltted the Loyalists.
WILL PROTEST ATTACK
He said a protest was being prepared to the Spanish insurgents regarding the “pirate” attack on tlie Jean Weems.
Members leaped to their feet from the government benches and cheered loudly when Eden, referring to Mussolini. said:
“We accept cooperation from all. but we accept dictation from no one!”
Eden challenged Mussohm's right and good faith in intervening in the colonial dispute.

tion of religious groups, which would include the Jewish. Catholic, and Frotestant faiths, could the desire be realized.
“Through the medium of modern science and transportation, the world has been made infinitely smaller.” explained Mrs. Bader, “but the fact that the various countries are melting-pots is still a term which has not been accomplished, due principally to the lack of understanding between the earth's leading faiths.”
Mrs. Bader, who is also vice-chairman of the child-service committee. stressed that only 50 per cent of the population within the United States is active in the nation’s religious affairs.
“IxT”view of this,” she said, “the responsibility to perform the duty of every American citizen, which is 60 maintain the present standards of freedom m living, rests with only one-half of our 130.000,000 people.”
